So the console selling one day out of an entire month (with no other consoles available not even last gen) got yall doing victory flips?:mjlol:

We’ll see like always that the numbers will tell the real story:unimpressed:


What y’all mean “no other consoles available?”

I mean in myyyyyyyyyyyy little ol town Charlotte, NC (the 15th largest city in the US but that’s neither here or there)

They were selling PS5, matter fact when I went to GameStop Thurs they were selling them (but not Xbox) and when I went the next morning for Black Friday they still had some on hand.

Suuuuuuuurrrely some other stores across the nation had some:lupe:


I think the people just wanted what they wanted :youngsabo::smugdraper::steviej:

I think all (or most) Gamestops had consoles for Thanksgiving. Doesn't seem like they advertised it? But yea, I went in on Wed. to pick up some games and the employees were discussing it.

I think Xbox Series S is dumb... but when people say they travel with it, or got it for kids it makes sense

but if you really break it down... its just a Xbox One X with a faster hard drive... so its not like they really redesigned anything that would be detrimental. They just upgraded and replaced the XB1X and threw it back out

dont see how Series S doesnt do 4k natively, but the old Xbox One X does... that doesnt make sense
but I guess with the price point they sacrificed some specs to try to sell more and tried to match Playstations load speed instead

It also has an upgraded cpu which allows it to play “next gen” games at 60fps where the one x wouldn’t be able to.

They saved money on the GPU because lots of people aren’t using or don’t care about 4K.

But it is a much more capable machine than the one x.

thats what im saying it was just an upgrade of that
which is smart because they still would have moved that
its like having Iphone XR but then copping the 11 ... where the xbox series x would be Iphone 13
its just a buffed option of what already was out

most companies would just keep selling you XB1X and say fukk it, so in that regard its kind of dope if thats all you need

you gave a good example when you said everything has options
you cant really lose money or worry when you were basically selling the same exact product since 2018.. all they did was update the specs and price it to be a viable option

technically like you said it makes sense to buff the frames and drive... but nerf the quality of display a little... because like "options"... you can just get the native 4k one if you were serious about it... which is smart to offer both. It would make no sense to leave it just XB1X and XBSX because then it wouldnt be justified to cop the 1X. They tuned it and split the difference between features, which is super intuitive


nintendo is lowkey worse because they developed a new switch mini and/or threw OLED on, to me thats more work than just changing a processor and drive. Sony did it laziest by just taking the drive out and calling it a day
but all 3 options are still dope to have really. Sony and Microsoft didnt really change much to make options, where nintendo changed a bunch of shyt... they might as well have upgraded their whole shyt at that point.

The series s struggles to meet 1080p on damn near every major game in 20 fukking 21.

1080p.

The One X >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Series S.

That's why they scrapped the One X so fast and made it impossible to get.

If you have a One X and gamepass, you realistically eating well for about 3.5 more years.

What game would the One X struggle with these days to hit 60fps??

No it doesn’t. You made that up. Compared to the one x it almost always performs better

Games will stop supporting last gen period.

Series S will play new games as long as the series X will,

There's a difference between the CPU's. The Series S has the same CPU as the X, and the One X has a beefed up X1 CPU with a nicer graphics card.

The One X is not "better" than the S in anything other than displaying images in 4K. Obviously it can still play games designed for cross-gen/smart delivery, but you can't even play Flight Sim on it. Nobody is going to be playing Starfield or anything that's not cross-gen on a One X outside of streaming it

Nah the SSD matters. The series S is way faster than the one x.. I was playing my save of WWE 19 with my girls one x and it took forever to load a match with CAWs. However i'm in and out of matches in a minute on the Series S. I'm not even going to start on my Old Xbox one VCR. . It not as powerful as the X but it's still better than some options out there.
